University of Reading cheese gut health study

Overview

Researchers at the University of Reading have conducted a study investigating how microorganisms in various cheeses may promote gut health. By tracking microbial and biochemical changes during the ripening and maturation of three British cheese varieties, the study suggests that bacteria responsible for specific flavor profiles may offer health benefits.

Experts, including clinical nutritionist Stephanie Moore, suggest that cheese may act as a carrier and protector for beneficial bacteria, such as the Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus families, as they pass through the digestive system. These microorganisms may potentially produce compounds linked to reduced inflammation, cholesterol regulation, and appetite control. The study notes that a cheese’s specific microbial makeup is determined by the initial inoculation of milk with moulds, yeasts, or bacteria, as well as the aging environment and storage methods used during fermentation.
